Ia a recent editorial the editor Of the

fortunately only a few papers conducted by
men of enlightened conviction and pride OF
character who would not sell out-oi

Why is it that three bottles of B. B. B. are
sold in Atlanta to one of any other blood rem
edy. and twice as much consumed in the State
of Georgia as any other preparation? No one
need take our word, but simply ask the drug
gsts. Ask the people. They are competent
witnesses. Six houses in Atlanta are buying
b. b. b. in FIVE and ten gross lots and some OF
them buy as often as every two months. Why
these unprecedented sales here at home with
so little advertising? Modesty forbids us ma
king reply. Had b. d. b. been before the
public quarter or half century, it would
not be necessary TO be bolstered up with crutch-

conquer and down money.

A Printers Well-Earned Success.

It is a pleasure to read in a letter
from New Haven that Mr. John Ben
netto of the Yale senior class, has ta-
ken the Deforest gold medal-the high
est honor of the Yale college course.
The Cour0nt takes direct interest in
young Bennetto, from the fact, among
others, that he has set type in this
office on numerous occasions. He is a
practical typesetter, and supported
himself at his trade before and after
entering college. Indeed, he had to
work SO much that he had to forego
school and be his oW tutor in prepar-
ing for college, and the first result of
his entrance examination was six ..con-
ditions. " Since admission, however,
to the opportunities of college instruc-
ton, he has placed himself among the
first three or tour in scholarship in his
class, and the prizes have surrendered
when they saw him coming. Without
the backing of Influential friends, and
pennies save as he worked at his trade
nights and vacations, he has made his
way to the highest honors of the course
and vindicated the true democracy of
Yale. One story like his disposes of
the twaddle about the increasing and
heavy expenses of the Yale course as
deduced from absurd statistics. -

The Chameleon's Celebration.

But of all the parti-colored reptiles
the chameleon is by far the best known,
and on the whole the most remarkable
for his Inconsistency of celebration. Like
a lacertine vicar of Bray, he varies in
continently from buff to blue, and from
blue back to orange again, under stress
of circumstances. The mechanism of
this curious change is extremely COM
pick. Tiny corpuscles of different pig
ments arc sometimes hidden in the
depths of the chameleon's skin, and
sometimes spread out on its surface in
an interlacing network OF brown or
purple. In addition to this prime color
ing matter, however. the animal also
possesses q normal yellow pigment
and blueish layer in the skin which
acts like the iridium glass SO largely
employed by DIR. Salyati, being seen
as straw colored with a transmitted
light, but assuming faint lilac tint
against an Opaque absorbent surface.
While sleeping the chameleon becomes
almost white in the shade. but if light
falls upon him Le slowly darkens by an
automatic process. CorAAig Magazine.

"a. good thing to carry and handy to
road purposes for $500 or 81, 600 must
have a; fair turn of speed, and to have q
fair amount of speed he must have a
fair amount Of breeding So that,
while being careful to secure first the
size, style and beauty, the better bred
your horse. is-the more pure trotting
blood you get in him the better.
Don tsbe afraid of getting trotter. It
won't kill you if you do. On the con-
trary,-if you get a big, sixteen-hand
horse handsome enough for the park,
well bred enough to suit the fashion,
and fast enough to excite the covetous-
ness of some trotting man, you are IN
danger of becoming rich. And to the
average farmer, who has the good for
tune. to, breed a horse of this kind, we
say: 'tSell him the first good offer YOU
get. - A general farmer has no bust
ness fooling with trotting and track
work. he had better leave that to turf
men,.
This may then be accepted as an im-
portant truth in regard to breeding this
kind of horse: After the requisite size
and style is secured, the better the trot-
ting blood the greater the value of the
horse. But while having due regard to
speed, size and beauty must be the first
aim, and they must not be sacrificed to
any other consideration. Other things
being equal, the fastest and best bred
carriage horse is of course the most
valuable, so that the wise breeder will
seek, while keeping up the physical
standard, to strengthen the trotting in
heritance and improve the blood. Aim
to produce the ideal king of the boule-
ward and lord of the park, and don t
forget this in trying to get a trotter.
The chances are, # you do, that You
will spoil what might have been good
carriage horse, a profitable animal, in
getting ffth-rate trotter, an exceed
ingly improbable one. Ii you get a
trotter, well and good, but remember
that the man who makes money breed
ing trotters is the man who aims first
and constantly to breed trotters, and
the man who succeeds in breeding car
riage and park horses will be the man
who aims first and constantly to breed
carriage and park horses. Have pur-
pose in breeding and breed true to that
purpose.
TO breed the park horse, breed a
mare that approaches your ideal of
what horse should be, to stallion
the nearest of that ideal. Breed to a
horse of size, substance and beauty
whose colts show that he gets size, sub
stance and beauty uniformly, and that
they are characteristic Of his blood.
Breed to a horse that is above the sus-
| picion of unsoundness in any partieu-
lar. Breed to a horse of good action
and good speed, whose colts are pure
aud positive in their gait. And breed
to the horse that with all these quail
ties combines strong, standard inner.
itance, and you cannot fail to produce
horses that will command fancy prices
for the park and the road. and be a
source of pleasure and profit in what
ever sphere they are used.

A Shy Mans Misdemeanors.

There is a species of man again who
is silent only because he is shy, who
sits because he fears the exact moment
when he will have to get up and go
away, and because he can best intro
duce his desire to depart For this
person one can not help feeling sim
cere and profound commiseration. It
is he who trips over the trains of ladies'
gowns, drops his stick with a crash on
the parquet floor in the middle. of Sig
nora Voccali's best song, who upsets
the tea he is handling into the ladies'
laps, treads on the poodle's tail and
sweeps whole legion of china and
silver knick-knacks into the fender
when he unluckily leans against the
mantel-piece this individual lam
guage becomes a painful impossibility
and the power of speech seems to have

that was consid erate, but there was a
moment when the muslin cap and
apron were donned which seemed like
the death of all that pertained to her
former life.
Bravely she assumed her duties, rose
early in thsmorning, arrayed the orna-
nents with all her exquisite taste, set
the breakfast-table, unfolded and placed
the morning paper, oficiated during the
meal with silent watchfulness. and at
all hours made herself. as Mrs. Nc
Ilraine declared, "a real comfort. =
Hardest of all were the evenings spent
in the company of the cook and the
housemaid, hearty narrowminded
lrishWomen, whom she succeeded in
conciliating. but could never make her
friends.
After a month had accustomed her to
her new duties Mrs MeIlraine told her
that her brother, Robert Barclay, would
come home and take his old place at
the table. He is trife particular
and like his toast and coffee very hot
whenever he comes down. she added,
.'but you will be sure to suit him.
When Rose-Marie brought in the
toast the next morning she nearly drop
ped it. Mr.. Barclay started in puz-
zled way. '.How much that girl looks

not opposite, her brothers side of the
table, and that he as persistently en-
deavored to keep his glance upon her.
So. too, she might have noticed how
many times he exclaimed: What a
jewel you have in Rose Marie! She is
real lady, don't you think sop
Two. weeks of this unsatisfactory ac-
quaintance went on, and Rose Marie
was forced to ask herself whether she
ought not to go forth once more when
a silent afternoon came upon the
house.
Mrs. Mcllraine drove in the park,
the gentlemen were down town, and
cook and housemaid slyly took an ex-
ira afternoon out, trusting to Rose

An uncomfortable desire seized Rose
